Fall 2021 Agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n

9:00 AM –\u00a0Keynote Address and Question and Answer Session<\/strong>
\nCenter for an Informed Public at University of Washington<\/em><\/p>\n

At the Center for an Informed Public, we have assembled world-class researchers, labs, thought leaders, and practitioners to translate research about misinformation and disinformation into policy, technology design, curriculum development, and public engagement. We want to shorten the cycle between research and implementation. We do this through our strong network of urban and rural libraries, national network of educators, and institutional partners. Our nonpartisan Center brings together diverse voices from across industry, government, nonprofits, other institutions, as well as those from communities and populations typically underrepresented in research and practice in this field.<\/p>\n

This interdisciplinary effort at the University of Washington is led by the Information School, Human Centered Design & Engineering and the School of Law, with collaboration from numerous other university and community partners.<\/p>\n

9:50 AM – Break<\/p>\n

10:00 AM –\u00a0Teaching Students the Fact-Checking Skills No One Taught Us<\/strong>
\nLiz Crouse and Shawn Lee, Teachers for an Informed Public\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

America\u2019s ability to move on from the Covid-19 pandemic has been hindered by misinformation.\u00a0 The effectiveness of vaccines, masks and public health institutions has been undermined on social media platforms where misinformation spreads to destructive ends.\u00a0 Misinformation on this massive scale is a new challenge. It presents an urgent need to teach students skills that we as teachers weren\u2019t taught ourselves. We are not powerless, we can protect our communities from this health crisis by teaching our students to determine what\u2019s real and what\u2019s fake. We will demonstrate how we have taught students to evaluate sources and claims online for the past three years, share information literacy resources, and examine student work.\u00a06-12<\/b><\/p>\n

10:50 AM – Break<\/p>\n

11:00 AM –\u00a0Scenes from a Marriage (between Social Studies & Information Literacy)<\/strong>
\nLesley James,\u00a0 Information Literacy Educator<\/em><\/p>\n

When you set out to teach students how to fight misinformation, you may encounter obstacles. This session is all about overcoming those obstacles\u2014or at least being aware of them so they don\u2019t take you by surprise. The obstacles may be caused by the developmental stages your students are going through; or by errors and assumptions you\u2019re making because they never taught you about this in teaching school and you\u2019re doing the best you can. Also, the world of information is convoluted and constantly changing. The solutions I\u2019ll suggest are ones I\u2019ve figured out the hard way, as well as from experiences, observations, and conversations with students. I\u2019ve also learned what not to do by watching my husband, a high school social studies teacher, make mistakes. This will be an opportunity to really dig into what he\u2019s done wrong.<\/p>\n

12:10 PM –\u00a0\u00a0Optional Lunch Viewing Party<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grab your lunch and get ready to share your thoughts about these video clips!\u00a0 We’ll watch them together and discuss how they could be used in the classroom. This session is not eligible for clock hours.<\/p>\n
